Eng. Dalal Eliwah

Eng. Dalal Eliwah serves as a key procurement lead within USAID/Jordan, overseeing the acquisition of engineering and infrastructure development services critical to the agency’s mission of advancing water security and institutional capacity. She manages complex contracts for technical consulting, pipeline construction, pump station rehabilitation, and water loss reduction initiatives, ensuring alignment with Jordan’s national water strategy and USAID’s sustainability goals. Her work bridges technical engineering requirements with public sector procurement standards, facilitating the delivery of resilient water systems through performance-based contracting and results-driven acquisition strategies. While no contractor data is currently available, Eng. Eliwah’s procurement portfolio is characterized by engagement with international engineering firms, local Jordanian technical consultants, and specialized water infrastructure contractors capable of delivering large-scale, mission-critical civil works. Her working relationships emphasize technical competence, local partnership, and adherence to international development standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in quality assurance, compliance, and adaptive project management. Eng. Eliwah’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on technical merit and value over socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes capability and performance, aligning with USAID’s emphasis on high-impact, results-oriented interventions in water and infrastructure sectors, rather than socioeconomic targeting. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing), which in this context likely supports the acquisition of specialized water transport, maintenance, and mobile pumping vehicles critical to rural water delivery and emergency response operations. This specialization underscores her technical expertise in procuring mission-enabling equipment for water infrastructure programs, where vehicle reliability and operational durability are paramount to sustaining service delivery in remote and underserved regions.
